Founded in Princeton, New Jersey in 1959 by Henry E.
Payne III, Payne Engineering Company today carries on with
the same mission it has had since the very beginning: to provide practical
solutions for controlling power to motors and process heating applications
with solid state power switching technology.

Due to legislative directives of the state of West Virginia, we have changed
the word "Engineering" in our name to "Controls". We are still the same company!!!

The Experience

We didn't "introduce" solid state controls when market conditions made them
fashionable, we PIONEERED the commercial application of this technology in
the late 1950's. Our engineering, research and development, design, and
manufacturing experience and resources have always been singularly dedicated
to providing solid state controls that out-perform and outlast any
electromechanical product available.

The Products

Our product scope over the years has evolved into the industry's broadest,
comprising all solid state, maintenance-free replacements for electromechanical
motor controls, power relays, variable transformers, saturable reactors,
and mercury relays. Standard catalog items exist to meet almost any application
requirements.

The Technology

Continuous investment of research time and engineering resources in advanced
power semiconductor protection methodologies assures a level of reliability
unmatched by any other solid state controls.

"2 ms" fuses, selected according to strict criteria for clearing time
and total energy let-through, protect power semiconductors against short
circuits;

Proprietary heatsink designs allow air cooling with no fans
and no thermal degrading;
